In a Saturday encounter at the London Stadium, West Ham secured a 2-0 victory over Manchester United in the English Premier League.
Jarrod Bowen opened the scoring in the 72nd minute after receiving a well-placed through ball from Paqueta, eluding challenges from Mainoo and Shaw. Despite an initial save by Onana, Bowen’s first attempt rebounded off him into the net.
Five minutes later, Ghanaian winger Mohammed Kudus extended West Ham’s lead to 2-0. The scoreline dealt another blow to Manchester United, which opted for a lineup featuring three teenagers – Kambwala, Mainoo, and Garnacho, marking the first occurrence since May 2021.
United had a notable chance in the 35th minute when Garnacho, after receiving a through pass from Antony, found himself in a one-on-one situation but directed the ball into the hands of the Hammers’ goalkeeper.
The 2-0 loss marks Manchester United’s fourth defeat in six games and their 20th in all competitions in 2023. West Ham’s victory propels them to sixth position in the league, trailing table leaders Arsenal by nine points, while Manchester United remains in eighth place.
The Reds were unable to return to winning ways, extending their struggles in the ongoing season.
